The Two Top Ways to Remove Your Goalkeeper Gloves Without Damaging Them

1. The Hold Method

Instead of yanking your gloves off, use your other hand to secure the glove, undo the strap and press the gloves palm side firmly against your chest. Then, gently pull your arm out of the glove. This method minimises stress on the glove’s seams and prevents them from tearing.

2. The Pinch-and-Wiggle Method

This technique works especially well for tight fitting gloves or those with finger protection. Start by lightly pinching the fingertips and pulling just enough to loosen them. Do this for each finger, then wiggle your hand while gradually easing it out. This avoids putting strain on the seams or damaging the latex.

Note:

The new trend in the goalkeeping world is strapless/lightweight gloves, these are very sought after and popular styles with many of our customers.

Please note that these types of gloves are very slim/tight fitting and is made to fit as close to the skin as possible and can be tight around the wrist and base of the hand area.

Unfortunately this will make the gloves more prone to stitching faults as they are more difficult to get on and to get off, especially after use when the hands are hot and sweaty etc.

Please take extreme caution and as much care as possible when removing these types of gloves from your hands, try and remove your hand from the gloves and not the gloves from the hand.

Try to put as little stress as possible on the seams, and the added stress areas, where the palm is stitched to the gloves, the thumb area, and the finger gussets.

If this style of glove is a concern please choose an alternative style/model or contact us before purchase and we can help with any other questions you may have.
